I was absolutely shocked by the highly acerbic & spiteful stance adopted by Sukanya Verma towards the music of 'Vivah', which is one of the most pleasant scores to have come out in the recent times.
Sadly, Ms. Verma betrays an apparent lack of musical instincts with her 'unmusical' ambiguities as she presents a totally incorrect perspective of most of the numbers.
'Vivah' sees Jain in pristine form in all the three duets and I would advice the lady to exercise greater alacrity in her choice of words - 'Mujhe haq hai..' is far from being 'sluggish and staid', as she puts it. But a complete shocker is Ms. Verma's description of the song 'O Jiji...' where according to her, 'Sisters fool around'. The dulcet melody, with its stunning 'Garba' beats and pleasant rendition make it an absolute delight to the ears.
Overall, a tepid peice by Ms. Verma, with her puffed-up grotesqueries in almost every paragraph. I wonder how such people can masquerade as a music critic.
